s4 to s5 molding??
 
anyone know how to swap s4 molding to s5 molding
i have s5 (parts car) molding that i would put on my s4

side mouldings can be swapped...remove and reinstall - simple

you may need to(or just want to) attach the S5 mouldings with two face tape and panel bonding adhesive since the style clips they used to hold the mouldings on may break...leaving you with only part of the moulding having good adhesion to the car.

wonderful
does the tape hold well?

oh and is there a certain tool i should use to pull off the molding?

the tape holds quite well but I recommended the adhesive as well just in case.

well a "clip popper" (no idea what the real name of the tool is...maybe clip removal device - lol) it looks like a screwdriver but its end is bent 45 degrees and splits into a U shape to allow you to slide it under the edges of a plastic clip..then pry it off. One of those works well.....

However a screwdriver or other tools could be subsituted as well.

On the fender however its easy to pull out the inner fender (plastic shield) and get right at the clips from the back. you can squeeze them with pliers then just pull the moulding off...

Do you have the Workship Manual. It should tell you how to remove it.
